Review on AIRCAT 801 3/8-Inch Composite Ratchet With 320 RPM And 35 Ft-Lbs Maximum Torque by Tyrell Christmas

I use this almost everyday at work and am happy with it every time. I like the composite body that doesn't get cold, and think the trigger is far superior to the more common levers. The ratchet has plenty of torque to be effective and is small enough to get into tight spaces, it's a big time saver. With some larger sockets (9/16, 15mm, etc) the protective sleeve on the end of the ratchet keeps the socket from sitting securely on the anvil, but it stays well enough to get the job done or the sleeve could be removed. My co-workers have 1/4" snap-ons and one has an IR, and my Air Cat will keep up with or beat them all. One of the Snap-Ons will give the Air Cat a run for it's money but another doesn't have half the speed or torque, even when new or after a rebuild. The Air Cat is also much quieter than the other ratchets. For the price I think it's a really good tool. I know it's only a 1/4" ratchet and I don't expect it to give me the torque of a 1/4" impact or larger ratchet but I think it has plenty of power to do what I ask it.
